Nice discussion here
<https://arstechnica.com/science/2019/10/a-tale-of-two-retractions/>
about what happens to their articles reporting on research results which
are subsequently retracted. Turns out there’s a whole “Retraction Watch”
website that reports on retracted papers, but it doesn’t always make
clear why they were withdrawn. This information, too, can be
scientifically useful, as guides on how not to make the same
mistakes again.
